Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs stems removed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp lemon peel finely grated
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 lbs pears firm, ripe, peeled, sliced 1/2" thick
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry or refrigerated/frozen pastry for 9" pie

Topping

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Slice figs. In large saucepan, combine figs, sugars, lemon juice and peel, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to boil over medium-high heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in pears. Turn into 2-quart baking dish such as 8-inch square baking pan or 9- x 2-inch round cake pan.
  • Bring pastry to room temperature according to package directions. With 2 1/2- to 3-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut pastry into 9 to 12 pieces. Arrange pastry, slightly overlapping, on filling. Sprinkle with topping ingredients. Bake in preheated 400ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
